"Edit w/ Pro" button gone with WP 5.0 update

Having an issue with the update. In the past, there were three tabs visible in Tiny MCE: HTML, Visual and Pro. When clicking on the Pro tab, there would be a button that let you edit with pro.

To be clear, I can still access pro by hovering over a page’s row and clicking the “edit with pro” text link from the page list. I can also get to it from the toolbar when viewing the front end of the site and using the pro menu > edit page from there.

The only thing that seems to be different is that Gutenberg has taken over the whole screen for a page I try to edit and does not provide a way to edit with pro once I am in that interface. This is the button that used to be there that I’m talking about:

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

UPDATE:

Weirdly - and suddenly, there has now appeared a button that will let me Edit with Wordpress or Edit with Pro in the top left-hand corner of Gutenberg. This was definitely not here when I started this thread (I had seen another thread where someone mentioned the Edit with Cornerstone button would be found there - that is the first thing I looked for before posting). Anyway, I’m not sure what caused the system to have a change of heart but I did add this to functions.php in the child:

add_filter('use_block_editor_for_post', '__return_false');

But then I removed it to see what that would do. As I said, I am not sure this is what made this happen but at least I can get to pro again after I have opened the editor.

Here is what I see now:

Clicking this will let me toggle between Gutenberg and Pro (after dismissing the content overwrite warning of course) as I expected I should be able to. The big Edit with Pro button is back now. Very odd but it seems to be fixed now.

Thanks for detailing your case, @simeoned. Glad it’s working now.
